That sounds OK, though I don't quite understand what the problem is with using Recommends: here. If opkg is installing e-menu-shr due to the recommendation even though another satisfier is already installed, that's a bug in opkg and ought really to be fixed there. It would be a little bit sad if we had to stop using Recommends altogether just because opkg gets it wrong sometimes. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
